[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1656377, member: 204485"] Actually chas_m that's not quite true according to Apple. If you don’t see song information When you insert a CD in your computer’s disc drive (or a SuperDrive connected to your computer), iTunes finds the CD in the Gracenote media database on the Internet and displays the name and other track information for each song. If songs appear as “Track 01,” “Track 02,” and so on, either you aren’t connected to the Internet or iTunes can’t find the CD’s information. [B]If you’re not connected to the Internet, you can import the songs anyway, and look up the CD information the next time you’re connected.[/B] Look up CD information in the Gracenote media database Make sure you're connected to the Internet. In iTunes, select a song or songs (hold down the Shift key to select multiple adjacent songs, or the Command key to select multiple nonadjacent songs). Click Options The CD options button near the top right of the iTunes window, and choose Get Track Names. Select the entry for the CD. If there's more than one entry, select one (a CD can have more than one entry if more than one person submitted information for the same CD to the Gracenote service); if it doesn't include the correct information, choose Get Track Names again, and choose another entry. I only found this out this weekend as I was sure it had been possible in the past but was unsure how to do it with the current version of iTunes. [/QUOTE]
